Adding time to a countdown/timer

1

Hey guys, need a little help with something. I’m making a game and it has a 20sec timer in it and I want to make a button/powerup thing that adds 5 seconds to the timer when you press it.

I’m currently using: -


timerBTN.onPress = function(){
	_root.countdown += 5; 
	gotoAndPlay (2); 
}

stop();

This doesn’t work, is there something wrong with my code, or is my method not the best? Any help would be really helpful.

Thanks :slight_smile:
